CMNL is proud to release the most important livery on its well-known casting – the Alexander ALX 400-bodied Dennis Trident. This is ukbus 1023 carrying the original Stagecoach East London livery. This model represents Stagecoach East London TA1 (S801 BWC). This bus was delivered to Stagecoach East London in January 1999 as fleet number TA1 and is significant as the first production Dennis Trident delivered to a UK operator. When new the bus was painted in Stagecoach National colours and was used for several weeks to demonstrate this type of bus to various Stagecoach companies. When the bus returned to East London it was painted red and entered service on route 48, 55 & 56 from Leyton Garage. In 2002 the bus was one of 50 London buses painted gold to commemorate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. To acknowledge its historical significance in August 2005 the bus was repainted back into its original livery. It will be no doubt to say that ukbus 1023 models will have extra value to the collectors. The replica features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door and engine detail. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together. The brand new TA1 model is based on a Limited Edition of 1800 pieces produced.
